The Vision and Creed of Piers Ploughman, Volume 2

by William Langland

Scientes et non facientes variis flagellis

vapulabunt.

Ac comunliche connynge

And unkynde rychesse,

As lorels to be lordes,

And lewede men techeres,

And holy churche horen help,

Averous and coveytous,

Droweth up Dowel,

And destruyeth Dobest.
